Dear Dr. Doggett:
Thanks very much for your letter and the generous arrangement regarding the loan. I expect you will receive the payments promptly but if the first one is not on time it will be due to the mail congestion for often our letters home are delayed and the folks may not get my instructions on time. We leave for France in the morning when, I suppose, new experiences will await us.
Sincerest regards,
Truly yours,
Pte. R. M. Jones
